Some SMUs that rolled through gave me a recruitment gmail address to email forms to. I'm not really sure what we're doing as a military tbh.

That's ok, the secretaries of state and defense were doing the same thing. Must be fine.

Future in-laws were watching NCIS, because that's what middle America does, and the start of the episode was a dead Navy O-4. They didn't like my response, "It was just a SWO, he's in a better place now."

I've never seen the show but doesn't it look kind of bad that there's a show dedicated to investigations of dumb Mil peeps in only two branches (it's marine/navy or more or?).


Just can't wrap my head around it unless I'm missing something. Again never saw it

idk I did a PFT like 3 days before my EAS just to appease my command. I know everyone here talks about all their insubordination but sometimes it's best to just bend over and take it and not ruffle feathers (especially of those that can gently caress you)

And you're not screwing anyone over not that most care

I did two PFTs before I left. The first one I did alright. The second one I walked and smoked, got yelled at and at the half way point smoked another. I had a 29:55 run time or something silly that was JUST before where they could slam paperwork on me.

The corps was fun as hell, then there were the days you wonder who in command was smoking crack. Lets give this dude duty, a cft, and a piss test on the same loving day and yell at the guy when he falls asleep waiting for a BN pisstest.

She sent nudes back and it turned out they were cousins. Gibs looks disappointed. Tony wise cracks about YN2s size.

Looks like I'm moving back out to Yokosuka, which is great for me, although I hear the policy changed a few years back and now everybody has to live on base without a waiver. Which is super lame...

Has anyone given the waiver a shot?

Sounds like what they're doing in Atsugi now because no one wanted to live on base.

That's not entirely true, but the waiver is near impossible to get. Lots of folks with medical waivers still living on base. They have dogs in the towers now, too, so that's not stopping you either.

I'm in some reduced rent stuff in Hawaii because it allows our two dogs without a question. I think we're the only ones without kids. Also for the rate its p. decent for what we get and we can charge our electric car for free without the cord getting stolen by meth heads.

The housing the next block over is cinder block construction from the 50s that hasn't been renovated since the 60s. Its even cheaper than my shithole and Its full of evangelical JOs and senior enlisted with 19,000 kids who can't afford to live anywhere else. They all drive giant SUVs with "Blessed" or "Saved" on the back window.

I was very close to buying some master Chiefs house in Port Orchard. Senior enlisted seem to do pretty drat good for themselves.
I decided against it because the combination mancave/double RV garage would need too much work to turn it into a proper guest house.

These are Army boots in camo, I am saying we atleast make our boots wear a better looking uniform.

Tl/dr: Camo uniforms are real, real dumb outside dirty work.

Well before you go yell at some dumb boots perusing in the mall make sure you find out if they're just in training and required to wear uniform on libbo before you go all stolen valor


DON'T FLY IN UNIFORM OR TARGET YOURSELF AS MIL

Alright you equally terrible people, I am just saying that camo uniforms are real dumb travel uniforms and my weekly travel plans are either super drunk suit and tie or drunk suit coat.

Edit: Super basically this is just :chiefsay: seeing a squad or so or Army boots wandering around aimlessly in camo.
